How AI Is Transforming the Battlefield & What It Means for Armored Vehicle Design

The nature of conflict is changing. Modern threats move faster, strike from unexpected angles, and operate across both physical and digital terrain.
For today’s defense forces, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI technologies, but how to apply them effectively to save lives and increase mission success.
At TAG Dynamics, our goal has always been to protect people in the moments that matter. As the threat environment evolves, so have we. What began as an armored vehicle manufacturer has grown into a defense solutions company, focused on reducing risk, extending capability, and delivering integrated protection.
Putting Safety First
AI has often been presented as a tool for tactical superiority. But for us, the priority is different. We see AI not as a way to dominate, but as a way to defend better.
This technology helps reduce the number of people placed in high-risk positions. It supports 24/7 awareness in environments where fatigue or visibility can fail human operators. It allows resources to be used more efficiently. Most importantly, it increases the chance that people return home safely.
We experienced this shift firsthand during one of our early internal tests of the Agentic Guard Tower. In that moment, the system detected a simulated threat, locked on, and issued a real-time alert without any operator input. It was clear that intelligent, autonomous protection was no longer a concept. It was a working reality.
The Agentic Guard Tower: Intelligence in Action
The Agentic Guard Tower is a fully autonomous perimeter defense solution designed to operate in remote, high-risk, or resource-constrained environments. Its mission is simple: to watch, assess, and alert — without the need to put people in harm’s way.
Its capabilities include:
360-degree vision using high-resolution day and night cameras
Real-time object detection trained on military and civilian datasets
AI-based behavioral analysis and threat classification
A 12.7mm remote-controlled weapon system with autonomous or human-in-the-loop engagement
A telescopic mast with 33x zoom, thermal imaging, and intelligent target tracking
Radar-assisted motion detection in low-visibility conditions (currently in development)
Since launching, the system has received strong interest from governments and defense partners who recognize its ability to reduce human risk while improving overall efficiency.
Redefining Armored Vehicle Design
Just as AI has transformed how surveillance and perimeter systems operate, it is also changing what is expected of modern armored vehicles.
Protection and mobility remain critical. But vehicles today must do more than absorb impacts or transport personnel. They must sense, assess, and respond. They must assist crews with navigation, threat detection, and coordination. And they must be able to communicate with towers, drones, and other assets in real time.
Our design approach reflects this shift. We are embedding onboard computing, integrating multi-sensor systems, and developing platforms that support assisted mobility and predictive maintenance. Our vehicles will no longer be built just to withstand threats. They are designed to understand them.
A Concern That Can’t Be Ignored
Despite the advancements in AI and vehicle protection, there is a challenge we continue to see across the industry. Too often, procurement decisions are based on matching minimum requirements or staying within a defined budget. Performance, survivability, and protection are sometimes assumed — but not fully scrutinized.
This creates risk. Many platforms are never tested under real-world conditions. And when that moment of truth comes, inferior performance can have serious consequences. That is why we go beyond checkboxes. Every system we design is built for the one day it’s truly needed, not just the days it isn’t.
Building for the Future
AI is changing the battlefield. We are embracing that change, not to follow a trend, but to stay true to our mission. Protecting lives means building smarter, safer, and more connected systems. It means creating platforms that support the people who serve, not just with armor, but with intelligence.
As threats grow more complex and unpredictable, we remain focused on delivering what matters most: trusted protection and the confidence to operate in any environment.
